Join Geographer Joseph Kerski as we explore how to teach about water—river systems, water quality, river flow, lakes, and oceans, using interactive maps and layers on the web generated from modern Geographic Information Systems (GIS ) tools.

Sponsored by: The Colorado Association for Environmental Education.

These web maps and applications run in a browser, are accessible from any device, are easy to use, and yet enable students to think spatially and critically about our dynamic planet, and offer connections to key 21st Century Issues of our time. I look forward to seeing you there.

About the Author

I believe that spatial thinking can transform education and society through the application of Geographic Information Systems for instruction, research, administration, and policy. I hold 3 degrees in Geography, have served at NOAA, the US Census Bureau, and USGS as a cartographer and geographer, and teach a variety of F2F (Face to Face) (including T3G) and online courses. I have authored a variety of books and textbooks about the environment, STEM, GIS, and education. These include "Interpreting Our World", "Essentials of the Environment", "Tribal GIS", "The GIS Guide to Public Domain Data", "International Perspectives on Teaching and Learning with GIS In Secondary Education", "Spatial Mathematics" and others. I write for 2 blogs, 2 monthly podcasts, and a variety of journals, and have created over 5,000 videos on the Our Earth YouTube channel. Yet, as time passes, the more I realize my own limitations and that this is a lifelong learning endeavor and thus I actively seek mentors and collaborators.
